I am trying to npm install vue-mapbox mapbox-gl, and I'm getting a dependency tree error.
I'm running Nuxt.js SSR with Vuetify and haven't installed anything related to Mapbox prior to running this install and am getting this error.

What's the right way to go about fixing this upstream dependency conflict?
It looks like it's a problem with peer dependencies in the latest version of npm (v7) which is still a beta version.
Try with npm install --legacy-peer-deps. For detailed information check the blog post npm v7 Series - Beta Release! And: SemVer-Major Changes in npm v7.
Use --legacy-peer-deps after npm install. For example, if you want to install Radium, use:
npm install --legacy-peer-deps --save radium
There are two ways:
use npm install --legacy-peer-deps to install, and if this doesn't work use
the force method. Add --force next to npm install: npm install --force
You can follow these commands
First type:
npm config set legacy-peer-deps true
Then type:
npx create-react-app my-app
Your dependency mexample requires mmapbox-gl v1.13.0 and mvue-mapbox requires mmapbox-gl v0.53.0.
NPM doesn't know which version to install, so it gives a warning. You can bypass the errors using -- force or --legacy-peer-deps, but you are ignoring an error, and making unexpected results.
Production Options:
Probably one of your packages is outdated. Upgrading packages and fixing upgrade errors might fix the dependency conflict.
Overriding a dependency manually to avoid the warning and error. You are setting the version to a specific one that you know that works. Usually the newer version.
Example solution with override. Your package.json file will look like this:
{
"name": "my-app",
"version": "0.1.0",
"private": true,
"dependencies": {
"mexample": "^1.2.0",
"vue-mapbox": "*"
},
"scripts": {
"start": "react-scripts start",
"build": "react-scripts build",
"test": "react-scripts test",
"eject": "react-scripts eject"
},
"overrides": {
"mmapbox-gl": "1.13.0"
}
}
The last option is bypassing using either:
--legacy-peer-deps completely ignores all peerDependencies using the newest version without pinning on file package-lock.json
--force forces the use of the newest, pinning all the versions on package-lock.json
Extra: You shouldn't use "*" as a version, because it might update major and break dependencies.
Until npm version 7.19.1, it still had the same issue. After upgrading to version 7.20.3, use command npm install -g npm#latest and npm audit fix. All packages will be fixed without error.
I tried multiple ways, but nothing was working for me. At last I tried this and it worked:
npm config set legacy-peer-deps true
Run this in the project folder and then try to install any package. It might work for you as well.
To solve it, fix the upstream dependency conflict installing NPM packages error
Method 1. Just use --legacy-peer-deps after npm install.
For example, if you want to install Axios, use
npm install --legacy-peer-deps --save axios.
Method 2. Updating npm and 'audit fix'
npm I -g npm#latest
npm audit fix --force
Method 3. Using --force to install packages
npm install axios --force
I was stuck on this issue for long which also makes error from other commands which calls for some install commands that was breaking.
The only solution that works (maybe suppresses the error) is
npm config set legacy-peer-deps true
This will set the configuration of legacy-peer-deps to true
To resolve npm dependencies and conflicts with npm packages, use npm-check-updates.
Almost all answers here suggest using force or legacy-peer-deps. Though this will technically work, please note that this is not recommended by NPM if you can avoid it anymore (source). Some folks may not have a choice, but I was able to resolve my dependency conflicts by deleting node-modules and package-lock.json then manually updating packages to their latest version one at a time until it stopped complaining (packages mentioned in the error messages after running npm i. Not a great or clean solution, but at least my packages are up-to-date and I'm not ignoring errors or using legacy solutions.
A lot of upvotes for using --legacy-peer-deps, but if --force works, I would recommend using that since it still pins many dependency versions while --legacy-peer-deps ignores peer dependencies entirely. See the example below:

I started getting this error on Azure DevOps a few days ago. I initially thought it was a glitch on the Azure side, but since it continued, we started looking into it a bit more.
It turns out the agent we are using, windows-2022, was updated a few days ago:
Updating readme file for win22 version 20220607.3 (#5713)
Node and NPM now match the latest Node.js LTS version: 16.15.1 (includes npm 8.11.0)
Downloads
You can view all agents-included software on Microsoft-hosted agents, Software.
After reading on Microsoft Visual Studio Developer Community, they recommend downgrading Node.js using Node.js Tool Installer task like this:
- task: NodeTool#0
inputs:
versionSpec: '16.14.2'
Node.js Tool Installer task
npm install fails in Azure DevOps Hosted Agent
However, we decided that we do not want to downgrade Node.js, so the first step was matching Node.js locally with LTS version 16.15.1 and npm 8.11.0.
When running npm ci, we then got the same error locally.
We tried npm ci --force and we then got this error:
npm ci can only install packages when your package.json and
package-lock.json or npm-shrinkwrap.json are in sync. Please update
your lock file with npm install before continuing.
npm install gave the same error even after node_modules was manually removed, but npm install --force worked, and it generated a new package-lock.json file.
npm ci still failed with the same error, but running npm ci --force worked. We decided to update Azure DevOps .yml to include --force and checked in the new package-lock.json file. After doing this, everything worked like before and we could now update our packages one by one.
delete the package-lock.json file
modify the package.json file, updating the version as indicated by the peer dependency
Add a tilde or caret for allowing install latest version and resolving dependency issues, for example :
~1.0.2 means to install version 1.0.2 or the latest patch version such as 1.0.4.
^1.0.2 means to install version 1.0.2 or the latest minor or patch version such as 1.1.0.
run npm install or npm udpate
I resolved this by adding
steps:
- task: NodeTool#0
inputs:
versionSpec: '12.x'
Nothing here worked for me.
After struggling with this issue for so long, I found a solution that worked.
Apparently I had some packages installed globally.
Listed them with:
npm list -g --depth=0
Then removed the unwanted packages with:
npm uninstall -g <package-name>
Finally I got the problem fixed
I have a react repo that in a github action , while doing "npm ci", gives a "Conflicting peer dependency" problem ( using npm 8.5.5 , node 16.14-alpine ).
And that's fine because npm >=7 blocks installations of peer dependencies if it finds any conflict.
But I don't understand why, if I replicate the "npm ci" command in my vscode terminal using very similar versions (npm 8.5.0 and node v16.14.2), I see no error and the installation correctly completes? :-/
Any idea?
I have this problem as well. By installing with --legacy-peer-deps locally and running ci with the same flag, things work. I have not been able to answer why peer dependencies install correctly in my local environment but not with Github actions. I have verified that I'm running the same node version in both places. It seems that if dependencies install locally without the legacy flag, they should in Github Actions, but that is not my experience.
npm i --legacy-peer-deps
npm ci --legacy-peer-deps
I am trying to update dependencies for various projects I have on GitHub. I wanted to update them one at a time. I went through these steps:
npm update (from master)
npm update dependency-name (from folder containing the json files)
npm install dependency-name --save
npm fix --force (don't remember this command exactly. It was similar to that)
Then I got a message that said "--force. I hope you know what you're doing." I knew immediately that I'd made a mistake because I didn't know what I was doing. I found that command while Googling solutions, so I stopped there.
How can I update a specific dependency in a package-lock.json file?
Also, could I have done significant damage with the --force command?
Thank you.
--force is a flag which forces a particular operation/process to run
So I think to fix the dependencies you would have used npm audit fix --force
You wouldn't have done any damage to your dependency tree.
The npm docs say:
npm audit fix
Scan your project for vulnerabilities and automatically install any compatible updates to vulnerable dependencies
Please refer https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/audit
npm version 6.0.1
Run npm audit
As many projects we have some vulnerabilities in ours.
First thing the report suggests is:
# Run npm update fsevents --depth 4 to resolve 65 vulnerabilities
I did this for several times decrementing the number of the issues but this time doesn't work.
Any idea why?
You already have fsevents installed, the lock file has the outdated values. If you manually change them in your lock file your npm audits would look clean, the problem being when you run npm install again it won't matter and they will install it again. Make sure to check your node_modules and the version of the libraries being used are in fact the ones without any vulnerabilities
It's a problem npm audit/update have with some optional packages like fsevents. if you clear all those packages inside package.lock or yarn.lock or if you don't care about the lock just remove the file and run npm install or yarn install again to have the updated inner packages
Github is telling me that a dependency in my package-lock.json file is vulnerable and outdated. The problem is that if I do npm install or npm update, neither of them update the dependency in the package-lock.json file.
I've done a lot of googling on this, as well as deleted the file and done npm install.
If anyone can help resolve this I'd hugely appreciate it. The package in question is Hoek, which I don't actually have in my package.json file.
It sounds like Hoek is a dependency of one of your dependencies (so, a package you have in your package.json is requiring it from it's own package.json).
You've already tried deleting/reinstalling and updating your project dependencies without success, so it seems that the package dependency in question has an explicit or max version specified.
Without seeing the package.json for each of your dependencies, it would be difficult to advise further on how to force an update.
Edit:
To help you identify which packages are using which dependencies, you can use NPM's ls command: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/ls
For example, to see which packages are using Hoek:
npm ls hoek
Edit 2:
As Ulysse BN correctly points out, if you have NPM version 6 or later, you can use npm audit fix to ask NPM to attempt to fix the vulnerabilities for you.
Edit 3:
Those reading this should also check out JBallin's answer below. It expands on information I have given here, and is (in my opinion) a more structured answer that addresses OP's question better. However - if you want a quick fix - this answer should suffice.
TLDR: Update the parent package using npm i $PARENT_PKG_NAME.
Note
When updating dependencies, you should review the CHANGELOG for any breaking changes.
Diagnosis
npm audit will reveal both the vulnerable package (note that you'll need a package-lock.json file for this, so you'll need to run npm i), as well as the package that it is a dependency of (if applicable). Note that you can also use npm ls $CHILD_PKG_NAME to see its parent dependencies.
Quick Fix Attempt
npm audit fix and npm audit fix --force are worth a try, but sometimes the fix will need to be done manually (see below).
Manual Fix
Most likely the parent package will have already fixed their dependencies (you can verify this by going to their GitHub and reviewing the recent commits--or just seeing if this fixes it), so you can just run npm i $PARENT_PKG_NAME #$NEW_VERSION and it will update your package-lock.json.
If parent has not fixed the vulnerability
If the maintainer doesn't seem to be responsive, you may consider using an alternative package that accomplishes the same thing or forking the package and updating the vulnerability yourself.
Verify Fix
You can now verify that it worked by running npm audit and ensuring that no vulnerabilities are showing up. Commit your changes, push them to GitHub, refresh your notifications/alerts and they should be gone!
Step 1: Install Peer Dependencies
npm i --legacy-peer-deps
Step 2: Change package manually
Edit package-lock.json manually and update the vulnerable package version to the fixed one.
npm ci
That will install the packages according to package-lock.json by ignoring package.json first.
Step 3: Control it again
Run
npm audit fix
to be sure if it's properly done. If it does not help so, then use other given solutions.

or here: https://docs.npmjs.com/auditing-package-dependencies-for-security-vulnerabilities
If you have npm#6 or later, you can use npm audit fix for your security issues.
Use:
npm i hoek
npm will install the latest version of hoek and your package.lock.json become updated.
To check vulnerable npm packages, just use following commands:
npm audit
To fix vulnerable npm packages, just use following commands which will fix package-lock.json too:
npm audit fix
I had this issue and found that it was because the server on which I was running npm had an old version of npm on it- package-lock.json is only supported by newer versions.
did you try this: go to your project root, delete the package-lock.json file, node_modules and .cache folders, and then npm install.
After installing new dependencies run the following command to update the package-lock.json file:
npm update package-lock.json
